Suffisso Core review for Transition

Come suggerito dal titolo il nuovo lavoro di Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri (Agan, Kaeba), ormai rimasto da solo a preservare la natura sperimentale del progetto che si è immesso sul mercato con ‘Platforms’, desidera rappresentare un’affermazione di stile in un processo di transizione che non sappiamo ancora a cosa potrà portare. Le otto tracce sono state …

5 Magazine review for Transition

Plaster’s Transition represents the distillation of some 50 years of European electronic music history. http://5chicago.com/tracks/new-releases/plaster-transition/ To call this “Techno” is a grave disservice to the scope, intellect and knowledge that Plaster has poured into Transition, the project’s newest release on Kvitnu.

Chain D.L.K. review for Plaster’s Transition

Polish zine Nowamuzyka reviewed Plaster

Włoski duet poznaliśmy bliżej pięć lat temu, kiedy jego EP-ka ukazała się w serii „Monad” publikowanej przez Stroboscopic Artefacts. W tym czasie Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri i Giuseppe Carlini mieli już dorobku dwa albumy. „Platforms” i „Zyprex 500” wydane przez ukraińską wytwórnię Kvitnu, prowadzoną z powodzeniem od połowy ubiegłej dekady przez producenta ukrywającego się pod pseudonimem …
